We have a 3com wireless router at home. The laptop downstairs connects to it through a PCMCIA wireless adapter. My phone also connects to it fine, no probs at all.
However, we have a pc upstairs with no wireless on it at all. I have been told that I can use the phone to "simulate" a wireless connection to the router through its USB connection. I have tried this using the program Wireless Modem on the phone but to no avail. Windows XP keeps looking for a driver that a dont have and is not supplies on the CD that comes with the phone. Any ideas where I can get this driver from, or am I doing this just completely wrong...... :roll:
Thanks
There seems to be a growing amount of threads regarding the whole WiFi scenario.
I have experienced problems too. I have managed to configure the wifi and it picks up my belkin wireless router but it cant surf.
I am also using XP!
Your problem is slightly different to mine but I will have a go at your problem too.
GOOD LUCK!
Ok. JUst to update, i have found the drivers that install the the phone as a HTC USB Modem but im still having no luck. Im trying to simulate my phone as a wireless card to connect to my router downstairs.
Is this possible???

Ive just got myself in the same situation. I have the XDA2i connected to my WIFI router fine, I can go on the WWW. Im now need to get my laptop into the loft where Im doing some work on an iriver H10 20gb (trying to construct a connection box as they arn't available until Sept!!!) I need the net access to look up pinouts on chips. I don't have a WIFI card for the laptop yet (should be here soon as on back order :evil: )
SO I want to use the PDA as a wifi card for my laptop through the usb port. How do i get the laptop to see the PDA as a network card and configured for this operation??
Cheers
Hey there guys! I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus running the latest OS. I have cancelled my home internet forever ago as the speeds I get from Verizon's 4G are plenty for what I use the internet for. I would plug my phone into my computer tower (no WiFi card) and bam, I would have internet.
However, I recently acquired a roommate who has a laptop and is connecting to my phone via WiFi. This works extremely well, as does everything else that connects to my phone via WiFi.
Here is where my conundrum is coming into play. The WiFi and USB network are different. We were trying to play Minecraft on LAN mode and realized that we weren't on the same network.
I began my googling and came across bridges, and using a cracked firmware for my router (ddwrt) to become a wireless repeater of sorts.
This is all a bit above my head however. I plug my router into my Ethernet port, and the cat5 on the router is plugged in where the modem cat5 should be. Internet still doesn't work from the router. My Router is a WNR2000v3
Tried Hamachi, that didn't work. Help fellow Android users!
I have the RK3188 1024/600 head unit from Joying with which want to use a 3g internet stick, but I am not sure what is the correct way to do this. If I connect the 3g dongle to the usb port, after a while the head unit connects to internet and the 3g icon appears on the status bar. The problem is that the connection is not reliable and after a few minutes internet stops working and it starts working again only after a reboot or plug out / plugin of the stick.
I also tried using PPP Widget, but without much luck, I think the PPP Widget could have problems by colliding with the head units default connection (the one with the signal/3g icon). Or maybe there is a problem with the internet dongle and I should try with another one?

Which version of PPPWidget did you use? Did you check the list of approved dongles, use search to find the list.
Hi,
please check the following thread from answer #12.
It seems the USB dongles need to much power.

Hey All,
I have finally managed to run a cable from my gigabit router (ASUS RT-N66U) (downstairs) up to my FireTV box. It has been working without issue (unrooted) for a couple of years via WIFI (both 2.4 and 5ghz). When I plug in my ethernet cable, the settings tab on the firetv always shows Cable Unplugged. I have tried removing and replugging both ends. Relocating the firetv right next to the Router using a known good cable. I have connected the cables and rebooted the firetv. Still no ethernet via hard cable.
Any suggestions to get this to work??
Thank you!

did you disable the wireless network? It may be trying to connect to both, which is a no no. Did you try to access the internet? Sometimes it connects without feedback, it takes a while to connect.

Did you disconnect the Wi-Fi? It can't connect to both
Yes, I tried forgetting all network connections. The problem isn't internet connectivity it doesn't see that the ethernet cable is plugged in. Though the router see data and link activity from the firetv.
Any ideas?
Rick
Any resolution to your issue? I am NOW having same issue... wired connection was working just fine for more then a year and one day just stopped. Cable is good, I plugged in my laptop there and all is working as expected but as soon as I plug it into AFTV, it says cable unplugged.
I'm afraid I never did get it working... Sad. Very Sad.

I have my FireTV 2nd gen working via ethernet since 'day 1'. The ethernet cable is connected to a switch, then to another switch then to the router. Also had the FireTV connection on DHCP with its MAC on a reserved IP.
Check if FireTV is set for DHCP or using a 'manual' IP; also check the router & look at the "attached devices" to see if the FireTV is connected, wired or wifi.
Hello guys how are you?
Recently I bought a Dasaita PX6 Android 10 for my Toyota CHR. Camera working OK, Sound OK... but I have a problem with WIFI connection.
As soon as setup my phone as hotspot, I search that WIFI on DASAITA. I find it and connect to it but as soon as IP address is raised WIFI turns off automatically.
Here I show you a video of the problem:

Thanks
I had the same issue. I think it has to do with the Zlink app which tries to put the HA in hotspot mode. I managed to switch on wifi after closing the Zlink app manually and disabling the hotspot in the dropdown menu(the icons which appear if you swipe down from the top of the screen). Unfortunately the wifi connection with the hotspot of my iPhone is nog always stable. Sometimes it disconnects after a couple of minutes.

Thanks for your reply.
If you saw the video I linked I have closed all apps and the problem is still there. I don't know what happens

Yes, a saw that, but as far as I can see, you did not disable the hotspot before turning on wifi. I needed to do that as well.

I think as soon as wifi is set to ON, hotspot turns off automatically. It can be shown also on the video.
Actually I use CAR PLAY but I would like to swap between both options with no connection problems :crying:
I thought my suggested method worked, but today it did not work for me either. I agree with you that this is quite annoying. Hopefully someone else can help us out.
i have same issue... looking forward to somebody do a stable update that solve this problem
I have this unit. What works for me is to use usb hookup for CarPlay, then you can use phone hotspot on radios WiFi. You have to turn WiFi on a few times after connecting phone through usb for it to stick. For wireless CarPlay, the radio uses the WiFi resources and turns off selectable WiFi.

the problem for me is that my iphone is not connect well to the bluetooth of the Dasaita, the issue is that i can't answer or make a call through the Dasaita (android)..... When i'm able to connect to BT and the Zlink start then the BT disconnects, when switch shut down Zlink app BT won't connect anymore

I think Syoung (above) is correct.
Obviously you can't run hotspot and wifi at the same time. It's one or the other.
If watch the video closely, the hotspot is off. As soon as wifi is turned on and the phone connects SOMETHING turns the hotspot on (you can see it getting turned on at the 19 second mark in the video), which in turn shuts off the wifi.
Maybe try completely disabling hotspot and see what happens
Well. I tried to connect the iPhone to the car via USB cable to launch CARPLAY. I think my car USB port that actually y also connected to DAISATA doesn’t support CARPLAY. Maybe I need to connect another cable to the back of DASAITA module to make it work.
In addition about the HOTSPOT. The DAISATA HOTSPOT is automatically set to ON to link with iPhone CarPlay.
If I turn it off as soon as my iPhone is near (also set use with CarPlay) hotspot back to ON and CARPLAY IS LINKED AND LAUNCHED.
Do you know if I need to use another cable connected to usb connector located in the back of DAISATA??
Thanks
Hello again. This is what I did and noticed:
- Car usb socket (connected to Daisata) doesn't work with USB CARPLAY.
- I connect the extra usb port to DAISATA.
- CARPLAY via USB working OK on that port.
- If using WIRELESS CARPLAY, Dasaita acts as hotspot creating a WIFI network where iPhone connects automatically.
- Now... I connect the iPhone to the new USB port for CARPLAY ( working ok and connecting faster). I disabled Hotspot from DASAITA. I turned ON WIFI and connect Dasaita to my iPhone hotspot . ALL OK.
So as somebody said is not possible use WIRELESS CAR PLAY and also have WIFI on Dasaita software.
I think connecting the iPhone to the new port we have the 2 connections ( car play and wifi) and on the other hand we can recharge the iPhone.
BUT.... now I need to solve another problem. I don't know why I need to switch off the Hotspot on iPhone each time I want The Daisata connects to the iPhone Hotspot. If I leave the hotspot always ON ( as it MUST BE) the wIFI that iPhone creates doesn't appear on DAISATA. As soon as I switch OFF then ON DAISATA connects in 1 sec to my iPhone
Best regards

I went into the zlink app preferences and turned off autoload and control system settings. This seems to stop zlink from turning everything back on when you turn it off. Been working for a few days. I do not however use android auto. You would need to play with the app to see how it functions without those permissions.
Hello,
I couldn't make the switch to wifi on. It kept going off. Tried your help, nothing worked.
What helped me today was a complete "power off". A restart.
It's working now.
Hi, I have a Dasaita PX6 with Max10, I have same issue, i have an iPhone 13 Pro Max, I don't know what to do, I can't solve, could you help me? Thank you in advance
I had a similar issue. I recently purchased a Dasaita HD5367-H10 unit and I've been having some trouble with the WiFi.
When the unit turns on, the WiFi turns on and it connects to my phone's hotspot. Shortly after it connects, the WiFi turns off and I have to manually turn it on again. This only happens once upon boot up and it works fine for the rest of the duration. Once I restart the unit, the issue occurs again.
I think I found a workaround. Disabling ZLink from the Factory Settings menu seems to "fix" the problem, but now the ZLink daemon service is not working.
